Curtis,
I am so far behind in replying to phone calls, posts, e-mails, etc. - sorry guys/gals.
The last time I was able to get out in the mountains was around Thanksgiving in another area I had found some KGC signs. I made a GREAT FIND here and meant to go back to check a thing or two. However, my father went to the hospital a couple days later (He fell, broke his shoulder and a bone in his back on the porch - he then got pneumonia and had a heart attack. While in the hospital, he has had three infections - including septic shock, we nearly lost him then). My father, though much better than he was, is still in critical condition. So, I don't know when it will be that I will be able to get back to the vault, Rich Mine or my new site. If my father keeps improving, it might be soon. However, every time they tell us he will be able to come home in a few days, he gets another infection or something goes wrong with his heart, so I really don't know.
Also, I had an attack on my computer in late November, where someone stole my photos (luckily I had made Ralph and myself hard copies while he was in before Thanksgiving, but I lost around 40 photos from my new site) and e-mails. It took me around a week to fix my computer from this attack! You naysayers can say what you will and there might be NOTHING at any of my sites, but SOMEONE or SOME PEOPLE are DEFINITELY interested in it! Also, the time I was out in the field last, I had some REALLY STRANGE RUN-INS! I think the big one there might have been moved after I left that evening, as I couldn't climb up to it and a huge tandem came up the hill as I was leaving, followed by two large pickups, a truck with a walk-in camper on the back (which had two rows of assault rifles on either side) and an older man in a white cadillac with Masonic stickers on the trunk)!
